> [@Frostillicus](#): > > Sarah Palin is a cunt. Nope ,she is the republican front runner and spokesman for the party. She is the face of the party. They can not keep her from saying dumb shit. When the dems pointed out what a nut job she was,during the campaign, the repubs rallied to her defense. They wanted her a step away from the presidency. They will waste a lot of time and energy defending her. Eventually they will turn on her. They have to. She is nuts.. ---

She used in Rovian fashion" death panel". She did not say health panel. She did not say medical panel. She used the term "death’ to make a statement that the health care changes will result in people being denied coverage and allowed to die . The massage is that the old and weak will die if we change to Obamas heath care plan. She is your spokesman and star of the repubs. Get used to it. She will burn you. ---

> [@RickJay](#): > > Even speaking as a Canadian who likes universal health insurance, this is a pretty bad way of proving your point. Life expectancy is dependent upon a lot of things besides health care. Americans are, for instance, much likelier to be overweight and have obesity-related health problems than most of the countries above them on that list. Universal health care won’t stop people from eating Popeye’s. No, it won’t, but it will allow people to afford more preventative care, and part of preventative care is helping to manage your weight. Right now people in the US switch health insurance companies on average about once every 4-5 years. Because the health insurance companies know this they don’t pay much in the way of preventative care because it has a lot of cost up front and the benefits don’t kick in until much later. Allowing women to receive free birth control costs them money up front but would prevent them from having to pay for births and all the newborn medical stuff down the road, but because they know the chances are good that by the time a woman gets knocked up it is likely that she will be insured elsewhere they don’t spend the money on it. It is the same reason they don’t pay for gym memberships or nutrition classes or anything that would help enable people to lose weight, because by the time that person is in decent physical shape they have switched companies and a new insurance carrier is reaping those benefits. ---

> [@Rand\_Rover](#): > > jsgoddess–the difference is between (i) Obama specifically intending the death of Palin’s baby, and the death of Palin’s baby certainly happening, and (ii) a panel making the deaths of lots of people (including Palin’s baby) more likely to happen. > > The title says (i) and Palin said something more like (ii). I disagree that she said something more like (ii). I think two things make that not work: 1. She called the panel “Obama’s” and the bureaucrats “his.” Not just “a panel” or “the panel” or “one of the panels” or “possible panels.” “Obama’s panel.” 2. “Death” panels. We can’t ignore that word in this context. So, to me, the line you’re describing would have to be: _The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of a panel so bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their “level of productivity in society,” whether they are worthy of health care._ But she didn’t say that. ---

I thought it was kill you by committee–which has more of a chance of success. I so want to be part of one of the death panels. I bet they’ve got badass uniforms and protocols.

Golly gee, dontcha know? **winky winky** I guess it depends on what’s required to be considered “a Republican star.” Is it support of the head honchos, the party and its leaders? I don’t think Palin has that at all. Is it support of the rank and file, the Republican voter? She has quite a bit of that, though how much is up for debate. ---

She is an expert on the Canadian health care system because, of course, you can see Canada from Alaska. ---
